Needing Help Getting Started with PE Builder 3.0.32

Hi Everyone:

         As directed from a previous post, I downloaded and installed PE Builder 3.0.32.  The instructions indicated to double click on the pebuilder.exe file after all files and folders were extracted.  When I double-click on the pebuilder.exe file, I get a window with the following questions:  Path to Windows installations files: and Add files/folders from (custom) directory.  I "assume" for part one of two, I type in the drive letter corresponding to my cdrom with the XP Pro Installation CD in it and type windows\setup or d:\windows\setup.  But, I am really unsure.  With regards to the other half of the question within the window, I am totally unclear what to type here.

         In closing, I am impressed with the reviews of PE Builder and excited about getting started with this tool.  Any help on this post will be most appreciated.

        Thank you.

Hi

        Thanks for the followup.  Is it possible to make a copy of PE Builder from a good working system and using it on another system with a different hardware profile and OS?

Hi

      I directed the program to c:\windows, but, I got the following error message: c:\windows\i386\setupldr.bin file not found.  I believe there is a different directory on the HDD which PE Builder is needing to locate the original installation files.  

      I looked for the i386 folder within the windows directory, but, could not locate it.

Hi Everyone:

        Before I begin with the feedback to this post, I want to thank everyone for their indulgence to the delay.  Much has been going on in my personal and work life which has been demanding at best.  In any case, I just wanted to explain myself here.  

        With regards to the feedback, I believe enough information is supplied here to give me a good start.  I especially appreciate the followup provided by tosh9iii.  The detailed outline is exactly what I need because I am a new user of PE Builder 3.0.32.  Once things start slowing down at work, I resume trying to figure out this exciting utility.

        Once again, please accept my humble apologies because of the delay in providing feedback and closure to this post.  As always, I found everyone's responses cogent and easy to understand.  

         Thanks again for simplying everything for me.  

         George
